Last Sunday, I ran the IDBI Mumbai Half Marathon. Saturday Expo: The expo was held on Thursday/Friday/Saturday, but since I had to work far away from the packet pick up, Saturday was my only option. I had my driver take me to the University of Mumbai Kalina campus, where the expo was being held at the sports complex there. It was interesting to see the University campus...very different Continue Reading

12 Weeks Until the New York City Marathon, Week 3 in India!

Since I didn't know my surroundings yet, I Continue Reading
Fits on the Road: Jaipur, India
Last weekend, my manager Lisa and I took a weekend trip from Mumbai (where we are working) to Jaipur, India. Jaipur is a northern city, the capital city of the Indian state of Rajasthan. Like the 50 states of the US, the 29 states of India are all apparently very different. I had only been to Mumbai at this point during my time in India, so I am so glad that I had the opportunity to explore Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: 13 Weeks Until the New York City Marathon!
13 weeks until New York City- yikes! I do not feel prepared. Once again, training wasn't spectacular for my second week in India, though I tried my best...work came first.

Tuesday: 8 easy on Continue Reading

I decided to book my tour with her after reading rave reviews on Trip Advisor from other solo female business travelers. I'm so glad I did- I will definitely be recommending her to all my colleagues who Continue Reading
